Objectively, Carl Barks has more successors than you can shake a stick 
at. Everyone who has ever done Disney ducks for comic books follows in 
his footsteps - he literally devised the creative milieu in which each 
of them has toiled. To pinpoint one creator as his successor is to 
drastically diminish the sheer grandeur of the inheritance he left, and 
from which so many have taken their portion - and, in some cases, 
produced triumphs of their own.
